Re: Southern Vancouver Island & Lower Mainland BC Eagle Nests - 2019-2023 Seasons

I have visited the eagles at Hollywood Park several times in the past couple of weeks. Due to the fact that the nest has been falling and there is basically nothing left of it, I was concerned that the eaglet might fall. However, it did not fall and has fledged successfully :woohoo: Aug. 7th visit: ...

Re: Glacier Gardens Eagle Nest--Juneau, Alaska 2023

Lovely photos of the beautiful area where the eagles live Jackie. Thanks for posting them for everyone to see. I have been to the gardens twice; last time was in August of last year. Unfortunately it was a terrible day for weather; Juneau experienced an atmospheric river and we got soaked to the ski...

Re: Southern Vancouver Island & Lower Mainland BC Eagle Nests - 2019-2023 Seasons

I have had reports from several observers that the eaglet in the nest at Hollywood Park has been branching; it has been seen perched at the top of the nest tree and Ann Smith observed it eating a few days ago. I will be visiting the nest area on Monday afternoon.

Re: Swan Lake Eagles, Saanich BC - 2019-2023 Seasons

I have received an update from my contact person, who lives across the road from the nest property. He said it looks like the eagles are gone for the season :) Unfortunately, I don't believe the 2nd eaglet has been released from Wild ARC; keeping my fingers crossed that it will be and will know to t...

Re: Lower Vancouver Island Osprey Nests - 2019-2023 Seasons

I had a short visit at the osprey nest behind the Juan de Fuca Rec. Centre on July 26th. I had a couple of brief views of 2 chicks in the nest but not sure if I captured both in my photos. I believe one of the osprey in the nest was an adult. Juan de Fuca Osprey 26 July 2023 (1).JPG Juan de Fuca Osp...

Re: Westshore, Metchosin and Sooke Bald Eagles - 2019-2023 Seasons

I visited the nest site on Farhill Rd. in Metchosin with my sister on July 26th. We did not see or hear any adults or the eaglet, but after 20 minutes we heard the eaglet vocalizing from somewhere beyond the nest tree; however we did not have enough time to search for it. This is the old nest tree o...

Re: Royal Roads Eagles, Colwood, BC - 2019-2023 Seasons

I visited the nest site at Royal Roads with my sister on July 26th and heard the eaglet vocalizing in the area of the nest tree. We had a difficult time trying to find the eaglet that was perched amongst the dark greenery. Royal Roads Eagles 26 July 2023.JPG The nest is visible from the road near th...

Re: Royal Roads Eagles, Colwood, BC - 2019-2023 Seasons

I visited the Cottonwood Lane nest site on July 26th with my sister and did not see any adults or eaglets in the nest or near the nest tree. A short while later we heard both eaglets vocalizing from different areas and saw an adult flying from the trees across from the nest site. It flew towards Roy...

Re: Southern Vancouver Island & Lower Mainland BC Eagle Nests - 2019-2023 Seasons

I visited the nest on Luxton Rd. on July 26th and saw that most of the nest had fallen. My birding partner had told me the adults had tried to make a new nest lower down in the nest tree. The eaglet was very active, flapping its wings amongst the branches to the left of the makeshift nest. Luxton Rd...

Re: Southern Vancouver Island & Lower Mainland BC Eagle Nests - 2019-2023 Seasons

I viewed the nest on the Colwood Golf Course on July 26th and saw one eaglet perched on a branch to the left of the nest. It flapped its wings several times before making it back to the nest. It flapped its wings several more times and landed on the same branch to the left of the nest. I did not see...

One of my birding friends went past the nest at Hollywood Park early Sunday morning, July 30th, and saw the eaglet perched at the top of the nest tree :thumlft: My birding partner saw the eaglet at the top of the nest tree on Aug. 1st; it was calling quite a bit.

Re: Swan Lake Eagles, Saanich BC - 2019-2023 Seasons

I have had an update from the neighbour who lives across the road from the nest tree. She had sent an email to Wild ARC to tell them about the drama that went on at the nest area on July 26th and they replied to her on the July 30th. They said their records show that they admitted an eaglet from the...
